Gaze following

  • Frank, Lewis, & MacDonald (2016)
  • N papers = 12, N experiments = 33, N participants = 491
  • Gaze following using standard multi-alternative forced-choice paradigms.
  • Curator is Molly Lewis
  • Search Strategy: "We identified papers using a Google Scholar search for “gaze following” and included those studies that (a) included data from typically-developing children, (b) used a standard face-to-face gaze-following task, and (c) reported percentage accuracy (rather than a score or other composite measure). Although we coded all papers that fit these criteria, we focused on papers with a simple two-alternative forced choice (9 papers); integrating across different numbers of alternatives added additional complexity to our model. In our first iteration of this analysis, we found that very few studies reported reaction times for gaze following, and those that did had no data from children older than 15 months and no data from gaze plus pointing. To remedy this issue we include new analyses of data from Yurovsky, Wade, & Frank (2013) and Yurovsky & Frank (2015)."
